“My husband, Max, is Tunisian,” said Lubov Azria. “So we wanted to go back and look at where he came from, by really juxtaposing the old and the new.” Their fantastic caftans and ponchos evidenced that clash in particular, as they paired endemic embroideries with modernized men’s shirt stripes. The effect was feather-light, unhurried and fitting for a Mediterranean tarriance. Azria also emphasized a “focus on separates” this season, such as with easy sheer-silk blousons and brocade wrap skirts, along with an eye-catching indigo terry-and-tulle jumper. Adding some after-hours bite to the lineup’s sun-kissed bark, a series of ornately threaded leather bombers came trimmed in conic metal studs.

“It’s really about thinking long-over-long,” added Azria, holding up a knee-length vest with concealed zippers. “You could wear this as a dress, but we prefer it with a shirt, pants underneath.” BCBG has always known how to work Bohemiana, but when it’s combined with this suggestion of line and the overarching Berber cues, there’s a distinct, versatile polish apparent.
